IOD Finalist 2012

eWealth Global wish to congratulate Warren Sanders on being a finalist at the IOD 2012.

A total of seventeen different senior professionals and directors had previously been shortlisted across the six categories, from a record total of 57 initial nominations.

The event was hosted by special guest speaker, renowned writer, broadcaster, former MP and Government Whip Gyles Brandreth, who impressed everyone with his grasp of local issues but most of all his energy and humour. Jason Laity, the local Chairman of the Institute of Directors, gave a short welcoming speech followed by Simon Walker, the recently appointed Director General of the Institute of Directors, who gave an introductory talk praising the Jersey branch of the IoD for the evening and for maintaining a strong number of members.

Jason Laity, IoD Jersey branch Chairman, said: “It was a fantastic turnout for our third Jersey Director of the Year Awards, which underlines the growing desire to recognise and celebrate the expertise and achievements of our top leaders here in Jersey. It was a hugely enjoyable evening and I congratulate all the winners and those who were shortlisted. In a persistent challenging global economic climate where businesses and organisations are faced with a range of difficult decisions, these Awards demonstrate a real strength in depth right across the private and public sectors in Jersey, something which we should be extremely proud of.”
